Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 192 192:Deadly Face Off[III]

As the two figures shot to opposite sides due to the clash, the reptilian bird with a loud shriek flew up in the air, and with a frightening burst of speed, it caught Avelin on its back but in the process, it was pushed away onto the ground meanwhile, a huge array of ghost sprang up and caught Leon.

He blasted a few of them away but in the end, he was caught softly.

Rising over the ghost, Leon shook his head.

"That was uncalled for still thanks."

A crazy roar resounded from the ghost army and their greenish burning eyes flickered madly as if they lost their mind in happiness after hearing Leon's words.

Seeing Leon getting up, Avelin gritted his teeth.

'What's going on? This guy is insane,' Avelin gazes, quivering seeing the man's perilous gaze.

At first, it was just a few drops of blood trickling down but now his face had been dyed with blood.

Despite the pain, and efflux of blood he didn't even lower his gaze even for a moment rather his gaze became sharper and sharper to the point that he started to feel suffocation.

Unbeknownst to him, a faint trail of liquid trickled down Avelin's cheek.

Raising his hand, he wiped the liquid on his cheek only to find a trickle of blood.

Avelin's mind became blurry and an uncanny anger burnt in his heart.

'Why?'

'I leveled up so why is he still standing firm before me?'

'He should have been defeated and overpowered so why…..?'

'I can't take this.'

Avelin knew his condition was decorating but Leon's condition was worse.

"I can't believe your punch is stronger and harder."

With eyes filled with murderous intent, he clasped his fist and charging forward swung his hands at Leon throwing a punch.

SWOOSH!

A piercing sound echoed, as he tore the air accelerating with a burst of momentum.

Avelin expected the sight of Leon's face getting punched and wanted to see that expression of shock.

His hand moved so fast that it became a blur but contrary to his expectations he was shocked to see his hands stuck in nothing but empty air. Suddenly, he sensed a great danger from his back, and a blur of disbelief appeared.

Avelin reacted quickly and crossed his arms.

BOOM!

A gust burst out and his body was sent flying about being hit by a huge greatsword.

He crashed over the horde of monsters' corpses and blasted them away but thankfully they acted as cushions to minimize the impact.

"Damn!"Avelin cursed and got up seeing Leon charging at him.

"Calm down! Don't lose your mind."Avelin hit his cheek as he almost lost his mind in anger.

It was then Avelin raised his hand, rose towards the sky and he clenched his fist.

"Don't think that you are the only one with the army."

"Come here…"

SWOOSH!

Various bulky figures materialized around him.

A huge troop of Reddish Orcs wearing full body armor held a great sword. Their crimson eyes burned furiously as they locked their gaze on Leon.

A shadow extended from beneath his feet from which several silver-armoured human figures rose.

"This is..."

Leon murmured faintly seeing the human figures. There was no doubt they were the same humans who swept them with their arrows during the fast clash in the Gorge leading him to death but their level was quite low before but now….....

Through the array of words, Leon spotted several Martial Emperor level powerhouses.

He was stunned for a moment witnessing an array of Martial Emperors popping out of nowhere.

"Look at this...This is the full power of my army."

"The Army of Blood Iron."

Avelin shouted clenching his fist with a triumphant look.

Several warning bells rang one after another in Leon's ears as he spotted them. Each one of the red Orcs and silver armored humans was at Emperor level.

Behind them are several Orcs, hobgoblins, and huge Orcs but none of them are below Martial Grandmaster.

A floating screen of their level filled up his view, and an army entirely consisting of strong men appeared around Avelin. Even at a casual glance, it must have been over a thousand or more.

Yes, their numbers were low but the quality was enough to terrify an entire continent.

Even a Martial Saint would start feeling helpless from the tremendous pressure exerted by this figure.

As he stared at the rushing tide before him, uncertainty started feeling in his eyes.

'This is familiar…'

'Alone….I have always fought alone….'

'Pain and death, I have always faced it alone but….'

Leon's lips curled upwards and he looked back.

A sea of darkness reflected in his vision.

Familiar figures with eagerness proposed their chin looking at him with puppy eyes.

"This time, I am not alone because I have people to trust and have my back."

Standing before the huge suffocating pressure there was nothing but a faint excitement in his eyes.

"Hella!"

SWOOSH!

Hella figures behind Leon and bowing her head she extends her hand holding a potion.

Leon took the vial and chugged down the potion. It was an expensive Qi restoring potion which also increased your qi intake and strength for a brief time.

He also took many vials of healing potion at once. Only then the flood of blood from his eyes stopped

Leon also released all his energy.

[Pseudo Draconic Body]

Scales started to erupt covering all his body. His skin started glowing with a golden haze and the crackle started echoing.

While Avelin arrogantly lowered his hand pointing at Leon, the monster Orc rushed like a tide.

RUMBLE

The ground started vibrating from the march.

Leon stared at the army...

"Everyone, it's time to taste blood.."

"Awaken and decimate everyone who is there to step in."

SWOOOSH!

In the blink of an eye, darkness from Leon spread all around. The dead on the fortress rose, and the moment Avelin's army stepped in, a terrifying assault of combined might from ghosts consisting of more than ten thousand in number shot at them.

And this is just the number of ghosts consisting of those who died in this fortress while his ghost army had reached a staggering number of around 40,000 already.

BOOOM!

WOOOOOO!

KHMMMMM!

KKRRREED!

BOOOOOOOOM!

Dozens of monsters screamed and were flung away under the combined attack of thousands of shadow soldiers.

Around them, a black tidal wave assaulted them relentlessly.

The Red Orcs cut their way through the crowd with a ferocious look.

But soon an elite army of humans led by Terpas and Kraft followed by Ghostly Orc consisting of Liebert, Looner, and a hobgoblin led by Germin and Grave met in between.

The Orc priest from both sides first started the fireworks and followed by ten thousand attacks clashing against one another.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The entire fort seemed to quake in terror.

As the Red Orc Army clashed with the ghostly forces of Liebert and Germin the battlefield erupted into chaos.

The air crackled with tension as the two opposing forces collided with thunderous force, their clash sending tidal shockwaves rippling through the battlefield.

The fort started to shudder and cracks formed with the collapse of a few areas but despite that, the one fallen rose up and kept on fighting till death.
